Leaders of 20 major countries (G20) gathered views on the 23rd that “we will do everything we can to ensure that corona treatment and vaccines are distributed fairly to all people.”

President Moon Jae-in and other G20 leaders adopted the G20 Summit Summit Declaration at the two-day videoconferencing summit on 21-22.

According to the statement issued by the Blue House earlier this day, it consists of 38 articles in a total of four areas, including △ joint response to challenges △ building a resilient and sustainable recovery △ ensuring an inclusive recovery to alleviate inequality △ guarantee a sustainable future. .

In their statement, the G20 leaders defined the corona pandemic as “an endless shock.” “We will continue to do our best to protect lives, provide special support to the most vulnerable, return our economy to a path of growth, and protect and create jobs.” With regard to the corona vaccine, he said, “immunity from a wide range of vaccines is a global public good.”

The leaders pledged to “continue to use the available policy tools necessary to increase the resilience of the financial system.” To this end, the G20 reaffirmed its commitment to continue the Deferred Principal Amortization Initiative (DSSI), which postpones debt repayment in low-income countries, until next June.

They also said: “Supporting the multilateral trading system is more important than ever”, and said: “We will strive to create a free, fair, inclusive, predictable and stable trade and investment environment.”

In this regard, the G20 said: “We will continue to seek concrete measures to facilitate the movement of people in a way that does not hinder efforts to protect public health.” The Blue House explained that “ Smoothing the movement of essential personnel to the border ” was proposed by President Moon at the G20 Special Video Summit in March, and has since received broad support from countries.

In addition to responding to the crown, the G20 leaders also included concrete efforts for sustainable development in the declaration. The leaders agreed that “preventing environmental damage and tackling climate change is the most urgent task of our time.” In addition, the declaration also included “recognizing the importance of taking advantage of the widest range of fuel and technology options according to the situation of each country and leading the energy transition to achieve ‘energy security, economic efficiency, environment and security'” . .

They also recalled the importance of the Paris Climate Convention and formed a consensus on the importance of financial support to support the efforts of developing countries to reduce greenhouse gases.

The G20 evaluated Japan’s decision to host the Tokyo 2020 Olympics next year and said: “It is a symbol of human endurance and global unity over Corona 19.” He also expressed his anticipation for hosting the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics.
